Hey guys and gals,
I amn currently in the US. I grew up in La Union. Some of you I rpobably even know or know my family. I can't believe that surfing there is popular now. I wish I grew up suring there, but I just started surfing last season in the NE part of the US. I miss my homeland! Keep surfin cuz the wavs are always awesome there from what I remember. What part of La Union were the pics from?

san juan is like 2 towns away from san fernando right? Thats where I was born. Im so proud to be born in such an awesome country with such awesome waves... waves here in the 3 months of summer that we have is less than waist high... no comparison to what we got in the Islas. Where you from in La Union?

My old house use to be in mabaho beach... near there...then we moved to catbangen close to poro point... I remember going to the beaches closes to that point and there was great surf, but no one surfing it!
I wanna go back there to visit. I havent been back there since I was 11. which was like 10-12 yrs ago. I miss it. What part of San fernando are u guys from?
I definitely gotta keep in touch with "me people" before I go back so I'll know the spots to go to surf down there.

I know where san juan is. My friend was buried in a cemetery there. And i had friends that use to live there. I've been outta the country for 11 yrs or more.So I still know where towns are and different places. I still have my house there. Are you familiar with a family who's last name is Lubrin? That's my family. We have land in Biday! Hey YNA maybe I even know you!

yeah... locals and all that crap. (I'm not one also to give spot names) I'm definitely just starting out. I can give you names of beaches that i surf. You're gonna have to find em yourself though. (I can't give directions, I suck at it. The 'net is good for that). York, Maine has Long Sands. They also have Ogunquit beach. New Hampshire has "The Wall" (awesome waves when its big (no waves in the summer though). GLouscester (good harbor beach. Rhode Island also has surf.
These are just some. Keep in mind though that summertimes here are small waves and its going to be crowded with some 'crushers. Some of these beach are so strict about where surfers can surf.
here's my email: kat382@hotmail.com. Please email me if u have anymore questions.

flat spells may be starting soon... but It was good for a couple of days at the wall, sometime last week. It's glassy too. It's definitly worth the trip from connecticut to here though. only an hour or two. Damn, we drive like 45 min to surf and shit sometimes 45 min to an hour depending how many days we have to surf
